Nathan Long updated KAFKA-7674:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
I'm following the [Apache Kafka Quick Start 
Guide]([https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart]) exactly, using [the release 
linked at the 
top]([https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/kafka/2.0.0/kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz]),
 which is versioned as "kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz".

At "Step 3: Create a Topic", it says to run this to create a topic:

    bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 \
       --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test

The next step is to list the existing topics:

    bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

The documentation shows that `test` should be listed.

The list command returns no output for me. I'm using the default configuration 
with `log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs`, and looking in that directory, I see no change 
when I run the command above to create a topic, even though the command exit 
status is 0.

When I publish the first message to the topic, I see it fail to send the 
message, then successfully retry after the topic is auto-created. I'm then able 
to see the message when I run the console consumer:

    bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server \
       localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning

I also do now see the topic as a directory in `/tmp/kafka-logs`.

But even though the topic now clearly exists, when I list topics, it still 
finds nothing:

    bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

I don't know if this is a documentation problem or a bug, but I get no errors 
when running any of these commands, it seems like a bug.
